Giving priority to what is most important, I have decided to swallow my pride. I had a dustup with a moderator. I lost. Though I think the moderators need a tuneup they ain't so bad really. I depend on them to keep this site from becomming a free for all whacko hate site. I used to push the abuse button quite frequently on my fave undesirables ... anti-semite, haters. I notice they're a bit thin around here lately.
It is most important that Free Republic live and thrive. It is less important that I get things my way around here. Though I do not agree completely with the proposition that it is Jim's site and he can do with it what he damn will pleases ... It's as much our site, collectively, as it is his now. Perhaps Jim does ride herd a bit too hard on this creation he gave birth to. Fact is I don't know. I simply don't have enough information.
But it is a given that FR is the best there is at what it does. If it's only my morning paper and a place to exercise my verbal skills ... it's worth supporting. Now is the time for all level headed thinking FReepers to come to the aid of our wounded friend ... Free Republic.
Seems to me like we have a bunch of thin-skinned whiners on both sides.
And personal attacks? Who the hell is so weak minded and has so little self esteem they need to make personal attacks?
What a sorry state of affairs we have. Whiners, weak little babies and grippers; all over a FORUM.
This Forum has so much to offer, if posters will grow up and use it for it's intended purpose. And if someone upsets you.... back away from the keyboard for a while. How friggin hard it that?
When I get flamed by a poster who has no intention of discussing, I stop posting to the thread. What a waste of time to do anything else.
So many important things to discuss and deal with and we waste our time on hurt feelings.
Feeling are over rated, put them in their place and move on.
HA!!
A week or 2 of TOS definetly can have that kind of effect on the sane, huh.
The poor & honorable JD; he's in such a Catch 22 over there.
He sure has his hands full with the absolute worst collection of cyber space's freaks, fruitcakes, & rejects.
...they've successfully turned his site into a virtual Leper Colony of monsters.
Sure he has. You're that important.
Ummm... I care. Do I count? ;-)

A legend in his own mind...
You might think so, but for someone like me who lurked for a while until becoming a member in November of 2000, he was one of those characters whose very presence defined this site.
